Programa

This course covers a number of fundamental techniques that allow for a better understanding of how to develop research in Engineering and Public Policy. Special emphasis will be given to research applied to Networked Infrastructures. Examples will be primarily drawn from the Telecommunications Industry. Classes will follow a seminar-like approach. Papers from international journals and excerpts from selected books will be discussed. Topics to be discussed include (but are not limited to): Industry structure and the value added of new information services; Principles for next generation networks, all-IP networks; The challenge of convergence to policy making; Open access networks and network neutrality; Quality of service and associated pricing models; Broadband diffusion, universal service policy and IT for development; Collaborative paradigms: grid computing, virtual organizations and e-science policy; Social networks, virtual communities and the new challenges of privacy policy; The Internet of things, sensor networks, ambient assisted living; New challenges for information security policy.
